MEETING OF ANARCHISTS.
GOVERNMENT DENOUNCED AT
CELEBRATION OF HAYMAR
KET RIOT ANNIVERSARY
CHICAGO, Nov. 12. The 15th anni
versary of the execution, on November
11th, 1887, of the four anarchists con
vlcted In connection with the Hay
market Tlot of May 4, S, was ob
served at a meeting at the north side
Turner hall last night. The meeting
was arranged by representatives of
32 different organizations, most of
which are of anarchistic tendency.
L. S Oliver presided at the meeting
and speakers in German, Italian and
English were heard The most Interest
seemed to be attached to the utter
ances of U Grossman, a New York
writer, who Is under sentence of five
years In Pnterson, N J., on a charge
of inciting a riot. Grossman, who
spoke In German, reviewed the events
lending up to t1us Haymarket affair,
criticised the trial, drew an Inspiration
from the execution and compared his
own persecution In Patersou with that'
of the Haymarket rioters.
The Italian speaker, Gulseppi Ctanca
btlla, while understood by only a few
of 2000 persons In the room, drew ap
plause when he declared that lubor
had little to expect from the arbitra
tion commission appointed by Presi
dent Roosevelt in the miners' strike.
Georgo Brown of Philadelphia, who
spokvin English, arrntnged all forms
of government as Inimical to liberty,
and declared that unarchy's mission Is
to destroy government. He declared
that when the bomb exploded In Hay
market square It showed that the gov
ernment In a republic Is like the gov
ernments all .he world over.
"No matter what the form, govern
ment is organised Injustice, maintained
by violence," he .declared. The Ameri
can people, lie added, had blown for
themselves a beautiful bubble. It was
the belief that the government and lib
erty were Identical, That bomb ex
ploded the bubble.

ULTIMATUM OF
THE OPERATORS
Will Refuse to Recognize Miners'
Union, and So Warn
Commission.
SAY THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE
Owiim Agree In IttMin; All
the DeniKiiriKof the Strik
ers, luiliitling That
For More Pay.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The the
anthracite coal mlneowners will resist
to the utmost every effort to make the
recognition of the United Mineworkers
of America an issue in the arbitration
which Is now in progress Is made evi
dent by the replies to the statement
of President John Mitchell ot the min
ers' orginization, which have been
filed with the strike commissioners.
There are five of these answers In ad
dition to that of President Baer, which
was given out yesterday, and all dwell
with especiut emphasis and marked
ununimlty on this point. They also
agree in resisting the demands of the
miners for an Increase of pay for
piecework, a reduction of hours for
tlm?work, and for the weighing rather
than the measurement of coal.
Recorder Wright left for the anthra
cite regions today, taking these re
plies with him. In addition to the
Statement of the Reading company by
President Baer, the list comprises the
replies of the Delaware & Hudson Co..
the Lackawanna, the Lehigh alley, the
Pennsylvania and the Scranton Coal
company.
The reply of the Delaware & Lack
awanna Railway company to President
Mitchell's statement Is signed by W.
H. -Truesdale. president, who says
that the company owns 25 anthracite
collieries and employs 12,000 workmen
in this branch of its business. Mr.
Truesdale, like Mr. Baer. objects to
making the recognition of the union
one of the issues to be considered by
the commission, saying that to the
proposlton made by the company for
arbitration one of the express condi
tions waa "that the findings of the
commission should govern the condi
tions of employment between !t and
Its employes." He adds:
"This company unequivocally asserts
that It will under no conditions recog
nise or enter into any agreement with
the association known as the United
Mineworkers of America or any branch
thereof. Nor will It permit said asso
ciation or Its officers to dictate the
terms and conditions under which It
shall conduct Its buslness.-
Presldent Ollphant of the Delaware
& Hudson company In his reply de
clares that the wa-s paid by his
company are Just and ade.v.me. He
also says that "those of lt employes
who perform contract or riccewcra
work as a matter of their owi volition
about six hours a 'ay and take nu
merous holidays, without the consent
or approval of this respond, and
their earnings. y hours cf actual
work, are, therefore, much higher
than those In similar fwp'r.v n
Penial Is made of the allege '-lois in
connection with tiu dnani for sborU.r
hours and It is couVvlod that such
a reduction necjssarllv would ir. mise
the price of "al-
Presldent OHoluint takns fXKP"
h nmnosltlon to arbitrate the
question of the recognition of the
miners' union on the grounu
organisation seeks to control the en
tire fuel supply of the country; that
as the union is unincorporated It is
Incapable of making a binding contract
and that the association has shown
Its Inability to control its own mem
bers. He seys his company has no
desire to discriminate sgnlnxt mem
bers of the union.
President Fowler asserts that if the
average wage earned by the anthracite
pieceworkers is less than that paid
In other employment It Is because
"they fix their own hours of labor and
the amount of their earnings without
any regard to the Interests or wishes
of their employers and In total dis
regard of the earnings and welfare of
every other class of employes."
All other charges made by Mr.
Mitchell are combattcd and on the
question of the miners- union Mr.
Fowler said:
"We deny that agreements between
employers and employes through
worklngmen s organisations are ben
efited in the bituminous coal fields
or elsewhere and assert that any such
agreement as a method of regulating
production would be and Is Injurious
to the best Interests of the public.'
